Narvasa out as PBA commissioner
Chito Narvasa
MANILA, Philippines – The PBA board of governors has practically terminated the term of office of league commissioner Chito Narvasa and appointed Rickie Santos, the deputy commissioner for operations, as the officer-in-charge that will run the daily affairs of the league.
PBA vice chairman Ramoncito Fernandez, the incoming chair who presided over an emergency board meeting at the PBA office Thursday, said Santos would be the league caretaker until they find a new commissioner in a search procedure to be undertaken soon.
Fernandez of NLEX, Patrick Gregorio of TNT KaTropa, Al Panlilio of Meralco, Mert Mondragon of Rain or Shine, Dickie Bachmann of Alaska Milk, Silliman Sy of Blackwater and Raymond Zorrilla of Phoenix Petroleum composed the majority group that filed a resolution not to endorse and support the extension of Narvasa’s term.
No-show in the emergency meeting were representatives from San Miguel Beer, Barangay Ginebra, Star, Kia and GlobalPort.
Fernandez said he’s spoken with Narvasa to advise him of the board resolution.
“He said he will explore his options,” said Fernandez in the press conference after the nearly three-hour meeting.
